Chicken Fried Pork
21st February 2016

Belfast folk of my vintage may well remember the Chicago Pizza Pie Factory (where the Stiff Kitten was down the side of the cinema on Dublin Road.) Then again, they …


Fried Porridge
10th February 2014

I am probably constructed half and half from oats and potatoes if you consider my Scottish and Irish heritage. Childhood days started with oats in the form of porridge and …


Coconut French Toast
4th May 2013

I love French toast. Bread dipped in egg and milk and fried golden brown and perfect with something sweet like syrup or savoury like bacon, it's a perfect brunch or …


Jibarito or Fried Plantain Sandwiches
29th March 2013

The idea of gluten free eating has become better known in the last few years, bringing great joy to those who are coeliac or gluten intolerant. Brixton is lucky to …


Fodmap Friendly Fried Chicken
26th August 2012

I hear fried chicken is the next 'junk food' to get the gourmet treatment and because I live in Brixton, my tolerance for hipster venues is plummeting, I decided it …


Blackened Corn Chowder
19th August 2012

I adore sweetcorn in soup. I love those corn soups thickened with egg in Chinese restaurants and every year when the cobs are in season I make the divine chicken …


Deep Fried Okra
20th June 2012

Recently in my travels round Brixton, I keep coming across Americans who now live here. It's testament to what a great area Brixton is that many of them say it's …


Spanish Octopus and Potato Salad
14th June 2012

The more I cook, the more I realise I want to cook. Each meal becomes a fabulous opportunity to do something I want to and something to be savoured. We …

14th May 2012

When I was wee, you saw croquettes on menus quite often, usually involved leftover potato and tinned fish in luridly orange breadcrumbs and often oddly accompanied by chips for triple …


Zombie Nuggets
17th April 2012

As you probably know from reading the blog, I seem to have unofficially become offal crazy. For me it's partly because I'm on a tight budget and offal is cheap …


Belfast Pastie Baps
1st February 2012

Growing up reciting the Lord's Prayer everyday at school, it made perfect sense that we asked to be given our daily bread. Belfast is a city of bakeries and practically …


Pierogi
17th November 2011

Several things are guaranteed to bring a tear to my eye: the episode of ER where Dr Mark Greene dies, posters for lost stuffed animals and the thought of ever …


Poutine
11th November 2011

Sometimes only chips will do. And after a Friday night that saw a friend and I literally drink Seven at Brixton dry of basil and ginger mojitos before giving Kaff …


Christmas Chestnut Mini Doughnuts
8th December 2010

I was invited to a festive soiree this weekend to get some Christmas cards prepared, drink mulled wine and generally get in the seasonal mood. I wanted to bring something …


An Ulster Fry
23rd March 2010
